OF the history of the Little Kingdom few fragments have survived;
but by chance an account of its origin has been preserved:
a legend, perhaps, rather than an account; for it is evidently a late compilation,
full of marvels, derived not from sober annals, but from the popular lays to which its author frequently refers.
For him the events that he records lay already in a distant past;

while of regions outside it, north or west, he is plainly ignorant.
